Big Blue's nose job - Part One

This project has been the subject of some debate. Nearly 2 years ago, I bought an entire front end of another bus. The idea has always been to completely swap front ends - the new front end taking place of the rusted hole-filled front end Big Blue sports now. Last October, in anticipation of the oncoming rainy season, I did a little bondo work on the front windshield frame. That doesn't look the best, but it kept the rain out and really cleaned up Blue's look.

Last week, when I used Big Blue as a daily driver, I realized the blue duct tape covering the holes left over from the spare mount didn't look so hot. So this week I busted out the bondo again and decided to finish the front end.






I'm no bondo expert, but I've done 2 rounds now and the sanding has gone well. I'm hoping for the best. I hope to finish it this weekend and get it primed and painted. If all goes well, I have a silver VW emblem just beggin' to get put back on there!

Looks like I'm going to have to find a new vent for the front:


Annnnd - What to do with the additional front end since I won't likely be using it to replace Big Blue's nose.... A bar perhaps?? DJ table? ... I'll add that to the list of projects.
